Dead Air Mask-22
Any word on when these will be available? I haven't seen any performance numbers tear downs, nothing. I'm interested in picking up a 22 suppressor and given it's pedigree, I'd like to give this one a look before I make a move.

I believe they're not supposed to come out until "sometime this summer"...

Re: Dead Air Mask-22
No solid release date as of yet unless it was changed in the past couple weeks, but hopefully sooner than later. I'm looking forward to seeing them.
Re: Dead Air Mask-22
Production has begun, so they will be coming! I'm going to give the usual industry answer: 3 weeks. OK, in all honesty, knowing how supply chains work and the Form 3 process, it will probably be a little longer before some dealers get some in their hands.
We've been waiting to show off the internals until some patent stuff has been taken care of. Let me check and see where that is and maybe I can get some pictures up. I think people will be surprised by the baffle stack. It's a bit of a departure from what we've designed in the past, but we feel it brings together the most efficient baffle system to date while keeping it extremely user serviceable.

Any update on this?
Re: Dead Air Mask-22
Hi Aaron,
We're now patent pending on the Mask and I'll be in the plant next week to check on production and I'll send out an update then. I'll also try to get to some renderings up tomorrow to let people get some sneak peeks on the internals. Stay tuned!

A key feature we wanted in this was a way to keep sealed baffle stacks from sticking in the tube. Mike Pappas was the guy that set up the the incredible customer service system that had just never existed in the industry. He was the guy that personally repaired anything that came back from the field. He observed that "sealed" baffle stacks still had some level of leakage that would then quickly fill that tight space between the stack and tube. A little bit goes a long way when there's only a few thou' of clearance and then you're still left pounding the stack out with a wooden dowel or a pusher tool.
Here are some key features:
--Baffle stack has stand-offs to prevent a full "weld up" of the baffles in the tube. This further improves your ability to remove the stack after a high round count because it only lightly makes contact with the ID of the tube. Hence, the stand-off stack.
--The complete stack seals off on the caps so that gunk is completely encapsulated from face to face of the caps.
--Blast baffle is a hybrid M baffle that creates a symmetrical blast chamber for the bullet to enter to ensure stability.
--Primary baffles are a type of highly optimized K-baffles that are more of a double-cone baffle. (the face of the K baffle isn't just flat or milled out, but it's a cone that sweeps forward toward the next cone. The shrinks the secondary chamber and compresses the baffle structure. Secondary baffle volume does not do as much work as primary, so this space could go.
--Final baffle is is symmetrical again like the blast baffle and this creates the most neutral environment possible for the bullet as it leaves the suppressor and transitions to the atmosphere. This helps with stabilization and precision. 22lr is extremely susceptible to destabilizing forces and some pistols are worse than others (P22 for example).
--The forward baffle nests within the preceding baffle. The leading cone of that baffle sits on a ledge and seals there. The diameter of the shroud around it is much larger in diameter so that the baffle can be tilted and pulled out past the buildup.
Baffles and caps: 17-4 PH stainless steel
Tube: Titanium
Weight: 6.8 oz
Length: 5.125"

Re: Dead Air Mask-22
Thanks for the info and pictures .
Looks more intricate to manufacture. What's the street price? Surprised on the weight but would be nice to see sound tests.

Come on, Todd. Status?
Re: Dead Air Mask-22
Now that we've seen the drawings, how about some teardown pics (or a video) of the real deal.

Re: Dead Air Mask-22
I confirmed that Form 3's are being processed, so these will be shipping soon. I'll see if we can get some teardown pics. I know it's in the works, so I'll push some buttons there. Sound testing on pistols is comfortably in the 114-116 dB range with minimal FRP. Everyone in the company has been travelling lately so we're having a hard time getting some good, quality, "social media" time.

Re: Dead Air Mask-22
For those that don't want to hunt for pics.....
Re: Dead Air Mask-22
Follow the link to the facebook page, lots more pictures.
I just preordered the heavy duty version from Hall's Firearms here in Ohio. if anyone in NW Ohio looking for a great guy to business with, look him up. I've done business with him 3 or 4 times now and he's great.
Am I allowed to say the price he quoted me on here? I don't want to break any rules or get Hall's or myself in trouble.

Re: Dead Air Mask-22
No. You must click on the pictures to see the rest in the set, there are way more than whats posted here. There are some that I added in the comments as I thought I had intitally uploaded them but for some reason they didn't make the cut. I also wanted everyone to visit the DA social media pages to help them out.fastfire wrote:Aaron wrote:Follow the link to the facebook page, lots more pictures.

Hi Rob. We expect them very soon. They've been out for over a month now I believe.
